Credited Contributions:

If you are unemployed and don’t qualify for a benefit payment you may sign-on for credited contributions (‘credits’) at your local Intreo Centre or Social Welfare local office.

You must be available for, capable of, and genuinely seeking full-time work.

Credits are important as they help to preserve your social insurance contribution record (e.g. for State pension purposes).

You may also be eligible to pay Voluntary Contributions
